Hi

I read it as Carters Mate. He would be a cart drivers assistant and was quite a common occupation. As the column is for relationship to Head of Household it shouldn't be there, probably he was a boarder or lodger.

FindMyPast is Findmypast, another commercial site. It is not uncommon for different sites to have different transcriptions, FindMyPast possibly incorrectly read the second word as Mstr, an abbreviation for Master.
